Brigham County Park is located just northeast of the Village of Blue Mounds on County Highway F. This 232-acre park is named after Ebenezer Brigham, one of the first settlers in this area. The park provides a panoramic view of the Wisconsin River Valley.

Park features include a group camp area, a year round 23 unit rustic campground, two shelter facilities, picnic area, play equipment, nature trail through a maple woods, and hiking trails that connect to Blue Mounds State Park. The Brigham Trail, a 1.3 mile paved shared-use trail, also goes through the park and connects to the Military Ridge State Trail and Cave of the Mounds National Natural Landmark. Shelter#2 is a timber frame structure that was built in 2015 with wood from trees that were harvested at Dane County Parks properties. Across from Brigham County Park is the County’s 107-acre Blue Mounds Wildlife Area that offers public hunting opportunities and other activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing(ungroomed trails), and wildlife observation.

Brigham Park

**In 2021, this is one of two Dane County Campground that will allow tents.** Token Creek will allow tents, all others (Babcock, Mendota and W. G. Lunney Lake Farm County Parks) will be RV only with self-contained restroom facilities and no tents allowed!

This 232-acre county park is located northeast of the Village of Blue Mounds. Blue Mounds State Park is just up the road and is home to a national landmark cave. If you can't camp at the Blue Mound State Park this would be a good alternative. 

This campground has 23 rustic campsites, two shelters, a picnic area, play equipment, a nature trail, and hiking trails that connect to the Blue Mound State Park. There is a 1.3-mile paved shared-use trail where mountain bicycling is allowed. The campground is only served by pit toilets. This campground does not have a dump station. There are electric sites throughout. Permits and reservations are purchased at ReserveDane.com 

I did not camp here but spent a while walking around the park and campground to get a good idea of what camping here might be like. The first group of campsites is between the main road and a farm field. They are directly across from the park shelters and picnic area. There is no privacy in front of or between campsites. 

On the other side of the loop, however, campsites are much more secluded with under-story between sites. These also back up to the woods, which makes for a much nicer overall camp experience. 

**If you have your choice, I would recommend sites 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20.**

A nice alternative to Blue Mounds State Park

It's a fine campground but nothing particularly special about it. Prices feel a little steep, and there's practically no privacy between sites. 

But overall it's clean and and easy to get to. Not a bad sight for a night or two by any means, just really average.

Simple and average

Nice and quiet site. A few sites have 30 amp power. No dump station. 
The sunsets are amazing
